School time!

Not only do our boys do their own schoolwork, but they get to go to the Christian school here in Galmi and help on Monday and Friday afternoons. School hours here are a lot different than they are back home. Here they begin their school day at 8 am, and go until 12 noon. The children then go home for siesta break from 1-3 pm, and then come back to school from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. Our kids are going from 4-5:30, and are doing 3 different "stations" - English instruction, crafts, and games outside. We have quickly realized that these children love anything to do with balls! They have 1 ball in the whole school and it is in need of repairs. So when we brought 4 balls to play with, they were overjoyed. In the picture above, the game we tried to teach them was frozen tag - the older students caught onto it very quickly. The children quickly run outside and promptly drop their sandals off to run barefoot. The school is from ages 6-11. They are trying to add a new class each year.
